Rob Dyrdek Jumps Chevy Sonic Backwards, Sets World Record

Pro skateboarder and MTV television personality Rob Dyrdek has done it again. After “kick-flipping” a Chevrolet Sonic for a Super Bowl commercial a few years ago, Dyrdek has another trick up his sleeve, jumping a Chevy Sonic while in reverse, setting a Guinness World Record in the process.

The stunt, which Dyrdek did for the season finale of his show "Fantasy Factory," saw him jump the Chevy Sonic 89 feet, 3¼ inches for the Guinness World Record. In order to qualify for the record, Dyrdek had to be able to land the Sonic on the catch ramp, and drive away from the stunt, which he did, earning him the record.Chevy and Dyrdek will show the Sonic that set the "Farthest Reverse Ramp Jump by Car" record on the season finale of "Fantasy Factory," which airs this month. You can see a preview of the stunt in the video below.
